It’s day two in San Antonio, really our first full day, which has already been busy with shopping, good food and everywhere you look, sugar skulls, as the locals and visitors alike celebrate Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. No ghost sightings to report yet on my end anyway!

On our way down yesterday, we took some pics as we started the food fest at the famous Czech Stop and had kolaches.

It was crazy windy and turning cooler as we made our way through West on down to San Antonio. Hence the reason for the next pic some of you may have seen on my Facebook page.

This morning we started the day with complimentary continental breakfast before heading out to check out the RiverCenter mall and The Riverwalk for a while.

Claudette, Barbara and I made a beeline for the mall so I could find some better boot socks and Barb could find some sandals. It was later that I discovered she wanted to go to the Mexican market for that, which we did but I’m not sure the sandals made it into her shopping bag. There was way too many other distractions like real Mexican vanilla, beautiful pottery and windchimes, sugar skulls galore and so much more. I had to take a picture of my beloved Riverwalk before going back to the hotel.

Once back at the hotel, we cooled our heels a few minutes while waiting for the game plan which was to go to the market, located down Commerce street about 12 blocks away. We caravaned over there, then after a humorous adventure in parking made our way to the market. What spectacular colors awaited us in every form from fine examples of pottery to stained glass windows at the Mexican restaurant we ate at.

A day for remembering deceased loved ones, Day Of The Dead is traditionally celebrated on Nov 1 and 2, but being so close to Halloween, the people of San Antonio start early. I am naturally drawn to the art of the sugar skulls, intricately drawn designs in beautiful colors put on everything from masks to T-shirts. Many people had their faces painted up and walk all over the city, shopping, eating, and drinking to the bewilderment of those uninformed.

Who knows what tonight will bring, but I’m sure it will be done relaxing as these legs and feet are pretty tired! We’ll see and I’ll keep you posted on la patio‘!
